Read Write Web wrote an article about the next killer app by Google and suggested that it should be an accounting package. There were some good comments about fear of financial records on the web. I feel the same way about this and believe there are way too many intricacies to accounting software that could be fulfilled in a supplemental SaaS offering.

In my opinion, the next killer App that Google should develop is a CRM. With Salesforce's strong hold on the market and companies like Zoho trying to come out with a competing product, Google can position themselves to come out with a dynamic and reasonable alternative, not to mention make it a lot simpler to use. Let's face, SalesForce has some usability issues.
